I had to share another project by Julia Chasman, because this one in Pasadena is giving me all the cheerful vibes. The kind that wants to have gatherings and hang out around that island while friends help with the chopping. Others spill into the dining nook and share drinks and a few chuckles. Then when the delicious meal is ready everyone heads into the dining room to ‘tuck in’. Photos: Jenna Peffley.















This 92m² apartment in Paris’s 18th arrondissement required a complete redesign, especially relocating the kitchen to create a third bedroom. Murs & Merveilles crafted a vibrant, retro-inspired space with meticulous attention to detail, from materials to lighting. The entrance sets the tone with a mix of vintage and contemporary styles, including custom joinery and a brass-accented bench. The bicolor kitchen opens into a light-filled living area with a calming oak and green glass contrast. Throughout, thoughtful design choices create a warm, inviting atmosphere, blending bold colours, vintage touches and custom elements in every room.

Located in a remote area in Sonoma County, this 640-square-foot cabin blends rustic charm with modern design. With its sliding wooden doors closed it resembles a barn. The one-room space is divided by screens, separating a kitchen and a sleeping area. The cabin, clad in reclaimed redwood with a rusted steel roof, is a cozy retreat sitting amidst gardens with a bath shed, a sleeping shed and a copper tub overlooking Mount St. Helena.

I really admire this Los Angeles home designed by Julia Chasman. It has a bit of everything which really speaks to me as I tend to be unable to settle one one style/vibe/scheme. In my humble option it is a wonderful example of blending maximalism and minimalism. You have a serene, almost farmhouse style kitchen bordering on minimal, and then a snug that is completely wrapped in multiple patterns and bold colours. Fabulous!

This 1300 sqm Mediterranean-inspired sanctuary blends richness with nature in a stunning barefoot luxury home. Textural elements like plaster walls and the lush greenery surrounding the home create a harmonious atmosphere, enhanced by natural materials and gentle sea breezes. Volumetric bodies and angled lines add interest with a central courtyard mediating between the home’s structure and its surroundings.
